Alternative Health : Homeopathy

So the hyperactivity causing insomnia is cured with a substance that causes hyperactivity. Thus the natural flow of energy within the body is restored.

History:
References to the Law of Similars can be found in ancient writings and in the traditions of native medicines, dating back to the Egyptians and Hippocrates. These principles were re-discovered over 200 years ago by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) who developed them into a science, which he called Homeopathy. This new system quickly spread throughout Europe and beyond. From Queen Victoria to the late Queen Mother, members of Britain’s Royal Family have used homeopathy. By the late 1800s, homeopathy had
become one of the most popular healing systems in North America. Homeopathy declined with the advent of pharmaceutical drugs and other modern therapies in the early 20th century. In recent times, many people have returned to this alternate form of medicine. It is now an accepted form of medicine in many European and Latin American countries, and India.

How does it work?
Homeopathic remedies are prepared from diluted substances such as plants, minerals, or animal products, which are repeatedly diluted and succussed (vigorously shaken). As this standardized process of dilution and succussion continues, the remedy becomes more powerful. It is this process that imprints the healing energy of the medicinal substance throughout the body of water (the diluent) as if a message is passed on. The message
contains the healing energy. This method is called potentization and it is the hallmark of all homeopathic
remedies.

The extreme dilution used in the preparation of homeopathic remedies renders them non-toxic and safe for everyone of all ages. There is no current scientific explanation for how these remedies work. Just as Aspirin has been used as a painkiller for over 50 years while scientists continue to study how it works, homeopathy continues to be used successfully without a definitive explanation of the process behind it. Yet the practical health benefits experienced by millions of people and animals for over 200 years provide convincing evidence that homeopathic remedies are effective.

What can Homeopathy treat?
Homeopathy can be effective in treating virtually any health issue – regardless of whether the origin is physical, mental, or emotional. Your diagnosis is much less important than your unique symptoms. For example, ten people with severe headaches can describe ten different sets of symptoms, each requiring a different remedy. By matching a remedy to your particular symptoms, a homeopath is treating you, not the disease.
A well-chosen homeopathic remedy can produce dramatic improvement in acute conditions (e.g. viral
infections, physical injuries) by significantly reducing the intensity of symptoms and recovery time. In chronic conditions homeopathy has proven to be very effective. Many common children’s complaints also respond remarkably well to homeopathy.

What happens when you see a homeopath?
Homeopathy involves treating both mind and body, so time is taken to listen to your emotional and physical symptoms. To stimulate your body’s own healing process, a remedy closest to your individual symptom picture is prescribed. Healing begins from within your body, strengthening your health and immune system, without any danger of damaging side effects.
